How can you discover something on the terminal itself? You fall into a pattern and stick with it. It is only if you get out of band information that you can learn these tricks.
- squigz 2y agoBit confused by this comment. I don't think anybody suggested you're going to find these things solely by interacting with the terminal - but rather through "out of band information" as you put it, which in GP's case, as he said, was a book. The surprising part of TFA, and replies to my comment - to me anyway - is how one can go so many years without picking up that information.
- 0cf8612b2e1e 2y agoI have never read a book about improving my terminal knowledge. I have a few tricks I have picked up over time (probably through posts like this!), but never done holistic research on the subject. Therefore, despite having used the terminal for decades, I likely have a similarly long list of basic terminal knowledge gaps. I do not know what I do not know.
